“Perhaps the greatest utopia would be if we could all real-ize that no utopia is possible; no place to run, no place to hide, just take care of business here and now.” – Jack Carroll, Canadian politician
Before our founding fathers fl ed Europe to es-cape religious persecution and hopefully cre-ate a better life for themselves and their fami-
lies in the New World, do you think they had aspira-tions of establishing a utopia? Or maybe they had a more realistic view of the world, like our buddy Jack Carroll did as he indicates in the quote above. For years, centuries really, people have had the roman-ticized idea that utopia exists. Even those who have grown up in our pretty great democratic society, with the freedom of speech, religion, and many other guaranteed rights have sought out something better. As we celebrate the day our country declared its in-dependence in order to ensure those rights we felt

were so fundamental to a happy soci-ety, Snippetz decided to see what hap-pened when people decided to break away and build their own version of utopia.
WHAT DOES“UTOPIA” MEAN?
You’ve probably heard the word before and understood the meaning, but you may not know where it came from and what it originally meant. Literally speaking, uto-pia means “no-place.” In 1516, Sir Thom-as More wrote a book called “Utopia” in which he described an imaginary island where everything is perfect all the time. His title is so apt because a true utopia exists “no-place.” But that hasn’t stopped people from trying to create one!
NEW HARMONYRobert Owen dreamed up the idea of the
“New Harmony” community and set about creating it in Indiana in 1825. His idea was that people living in the community would do whatever they were best at, whether it be shearing sheep or baking bread. Each per-son’s skill would contribute to the overall good of the community. The problem came when too many people skilled in one trade created a backlog of work in other areas that lacked a tradesman altogether. With-out a solid economic plan, New Harmony was far from harmonious. And with fi ve constitutions drafted in the fi rst year alone, it was clear that Owen’s utopia wasn’t up to snuff.
OCTAGON CITYThe Vegetarian Kansas Emigration Com-pany founded Octagon City in 1856, near Humboldt, Kansas. The initial idea was that the community would be made up en-tirely of vegetarians, but due to a lack of interest, they eventually began to allow “meat-eaters” to join them. The name Oc-tagon City came from the octagonal city design, inspired by famous phrenologist Orson Squire Fowler, who posited that octagons were the most practical designs for homes because they allowed the most amount of light to enter the dwelling. In the end, the grand plan didn’t pan out so well. When about 60 families showed up to live in the city, they were a bit disappointed to fi nd the “city” was just a single 16 x16 windowless log cabin. Many left, but the few who tried to stick it out ran into nu-merous problems, including lack of water, mosquito invasions and disease.
BROOK FARMSimilar to the idea behind “New Harmo-ny,” Brook Farm was founded on the idea
that everyone would pitch in and share the workload, allowing the community mem-bers to escape the confi nes of capitalist life. George Ripley set up the farm in 1841 on 200 acres in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. His followers believed that, by sharing the various jobs throughout the farm, they would have more time to enjoy intellectual and cultural pursuits, but found that the re-ality was far from ideal. The farm failed to turn a profi t from its agricultural produce. Additionally, Ripley steered his commu-nity in a direction that essentially required the younger people to do the “dirty work,” which they didn’t particularly like having to do. A smallpox outbreak in 1845, fol-lowed by a fi re in 1846 and growing dissat-isfaction with the overall situation eventu-ally led to the demise of Brook Farm.
FRUITLANDSCOMMUNE
Bronson Alcott (father of Louisa May) and Charles Lane visited Brook Farm but found it to be “too worldly” and decided in start their own utopian society, the Fruitlands Commune, in Harvard, Massachusetts in 1843. All 11 adult members and the scatter-ing of children who accompanied them to the commune were against property own-ership, were political anarchists, believed in free love and were vegetarians. They were even forbidden to use any animal products like honey, wool, beeswax and manure, to name a few. They couldn’t use animals for labor and only planted produce that grew up out of the soil so that worms and other living organisms within the soil weren’t disturbed. Thanks to a popular be-

lief among the members that manual labor was spiritually inhibiting, the commune couldn’t provide enough food to feed its members. Many became malnourished and fell ill, causing the general collapse of the commune in January 1844, about six months after its inception.
THE MOUNTAIN COVE COMMUNITY
The Mountain Cove Community was founded by a group called the Spiritualists whose idea of utopia led them to a spot in Virginia in 1851. They considered the area to be the Garden of Eden and in it, they determined that they would live entirely without any individual having the power to dictate to any other. If direction was need-ed, it would come from the “spirits,” they thought. In order to be accepted into the community, members needed to give up all their possessions because everything, including fi nances, would be handled by the spirits. Clearly, the spirits couldn’t be bothered with creating a budget or helping the members fi nd a way to support them-selves because the community lasted less than two years.
ONEIDAIf that name sounds familiar, it’s because the Oneida company began manufacturing silverware in 1877, in the midst of attempt-ing to maintain a successful utopian com-
munity. The Oneida community was found-ed by John Humphrey Noyes in Oneida, New York in 1848, based on the belief that Jesus had already made his grand reappear-ance in the year 70, so the ability to bring about his perfect kingdom fell squarely on their shoulders. At its peak, the community had about 300 members and relied on the “complex marriage” principle, in which every member was married to every other member and the children were raised com-munally. While it represents one of the uto-pian societies that lasted the longest, from 1848 until 1881, the only thing about the Oneida that’s still around today is their cut-lery. Apparently, it wasn’t quite the utopia it was cracked up to be.
JONESTOWNBy far one of the most depressing attempts at a utopian society, the People’s Temple Agricultural Project (or Jonestown) was established on 3,800 acres of leased land in Guyana by leader Jim Jones in 1974. The idea was to leave behind all the bad things of the American society and set up their own little happy world in Guyana. But the living conditions weren’t up to par and one survivor even said it reminded him of a con-centration camp. When it became clear that things weren’t working out in Jonestown, several members decided to try to get back to the United States by traveling along with congressman Leo Ryan, who was visiting at that time in 1978. But Jones thought the members were trying to destroy his utopia and ordered the other members to commit “revolutionary suicide,” resulting in the death of 907 Temple members from cya-nide poisoning.

Every year, fall and winter ar-rive right along with the �lu and �lu vaccines. Summer
season is normally not a time when people think of receiving the sea-sonal �lu vaccine. However, it is a time when people can think of how to boost their immune systems be-fore fall and winter arrive. A person who carries a strong immune sys-tem should not need a �lu vaccine. First, a person needs to examine what is actually in the �lu vaccine.
A website, National Vaccine Infor-mation Center (NVIC), off ers an abundance of information on child-
hood and �lu vaccine information. Their site allows a person to even calculate how much aluminum and other toxins a child would receive in one immunization of�ice visit. Their site also off ers the inserts, in PDF form, that lists all the ingredi-ents for various vaccines, including the �lu vaccine. Each person needs to make his or her own choice re-garding vaccinations, but that choice needs to be based on knowl-edge. NVIC off ers that knowledge. What is in a �lu vaccine?
Diff erent manufacturers use diff er-ent ingredients. Without naming
speci�ic brands, some use formal-dehyde and polysorbate 80. The National Cancer Institute labels formaldehyde as a cancer causing substance. Organic Health labels polysorbate 80 as being linked to infertility. There are other ingre-dients, as well, that one can �ind printed on the inserts. The inserts can be requested from pharmacies as well. Study and ask about the in-gredients and the combination.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the �lu shot from this year was not very eff ective, though they still recommended people receive it. They recommend that people get immunized again anyway since the vaccines wear off in less than a year. Does everyone

need a �lu shot?
The combination of ingredients and toxicity in the �lu shot can cre-ate a cumulative eff ect, lowering the immune system. People can improve their immune systems so that they do not become ill with the �lu. Life Energy Flow Tai Yi is one way, among others, to boost the immune system. Regardless of the choice, it’s important to make it in-dividual and informative.

3. Create "How to…." articles.
A fun way to write this type of arti-cle is to research other "How to…"articles on a subject that relates toyour business. Then take the 3 to5 best "How to…" articles, make acompiled list of "How to…" steps,add all your own knowledge to thecontent, reword completely anyideas you pull from the samplearticles, and most importantlydelete all the information for whichyou disagree. Then rearrange thesteps to be precisely accurate.Read over your new "How to…"content and picture yourself doingeverything step by step. Anotherway to make sure your "How to…"article is accurate is to pictureyourself teaching someone.
1. Read everything you canfind on topics surrounding yourbusiness.
No matter what your business,there is always more to learn, a lotto read, and tons of information toassimilate. All of this current infor-mation that you read will help yougenerate great topic ideas for yourcontent. Be careful not to plagia-rize, but quoting someone andstating the source (even linking tothe original article) is great foryour search engine ranking.Search the web for topics that arehot that concern your business.Blogs are the best place to findthe most current hot topics. Readother's opinions on those topicsand then write your own twist onthe subject. Facebook groupsand online magazines are alsogreat places to find hot topics.
2. Create lists.
People love lists. "10 Waysto…..", "The 5 best….", “20 Kindof…." Lists sum up content with-out requiring your readers to readparagraphs. People love creativewriting, but love precise lists evenmore.
So, we've all heard over and overagain that CONTENT on your web-site or blog is the most importantway to attract attention from thesearch engines. And having en-gaging, interesting, new content ona regular basis is imperative.
Your content needs to be applica-ble to your readers and your busi-ness. But what happens when youfeel you've run out of interestingideas to write about? Even thebest of the bloggers hit this wallsometimes. Coming up with con-tent that will connect with youraudience, rank well with the searchengines, and therefore make animpact on your business with traf-fic, revenue and brand building,takes time and expertise. You cando it yourself, or hire a contentwriter, but one way or the otheryou must have constant new con-tent on your website or blog inorder to rank high with the searchengines.
Over the years of writing weeklymagazine articles for Snippetz, Ihave come up with a list of ways Iprod myself to come up with goodtopic ideas for content.
When you don’t know
what to say....Series 4 Article 49
Acting like you are teaching is thebest way to learn something."While we teach, we learn," saidthe Roman philosopher Seneca.This type of content is best with alot of images.
4. Get Controversial and useyour Personal Experience.
Theory, hypothesis, speculation,assumption, philosophy, ideolo-gy…. These are fun to readbecause it gives us a new slant, adifferent perspective on ideas wethought were unshakable. Beingcompletely controversial is risky,but explaining a different viewpointand breaking the rules is engagingand fun.

THE MAGNETIC POWER OF
SELF-CONFIDENT PEOPLE
PART 6.4MAGNETIC SELF CONFIDENCE IS WISE BUT NOT WISEACRE
By Dr. Ron D. Ross
Nobody likes a wiseacre (smart-aleck). You know the kind: the conceited, an-
noyingly self-assertive upstart who makes impudent displays of knowl-edge and insolent remarks.
Nobody likes them and nobody re-spects them. They only tolerate them if they are required to work in prox-imity to them or be around them be-cause they are related. Otherwise, wiseacres are shunned.
Wise people, on the other hand, at-tract followers, fans or friends with-out trumpet blast or self-adulation. Wise people are compelling and interesting – they have an elegant charisma that is unaffected by their education or accomplishments.
In 1961 my father preached the bac-calaureate sermon to my graduat-ing class at Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs, Iowa. I remember only one thing he said in his brief fi fteen-minute sermon, and it was this: “Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understand-ing.” Over 50-years later I can still hear him saying it. It was the King James Version of Proverbs 4:7.
Upon his advice and following his example, I have been praying for and seeking wisdom. Alas, for most of those 50 years, I have wondered why I made so many bad decisions, why I said the wrong things, or made obvi-ously wrong choices, even though I wanted to be wise.
So I ask, where does wisdom come from?
Does it come from education? No.
I know a highly educated man who has three degrees and graduated at the top of his class more than once. But the poor guy can barely survive a day without taking some kind of pill to help him cope even with the trivialities of life. To be book smart is good, but it does not make you wise.
Does wisdom come from experi-ence? Not necessarily. Who hasn’t made the same mistake several times and wondered why things still came out badly? I certainly have. So expe-rience is not automatically the best teacher.
We gain wisdom when our education and experience teaches us, chang-es us, improves us, and defends us against the natural folly of an un-guarded life. The Bible teaches this in Job 28.28: “The fear of the Lord – that is wisdom and to shun evil is understanding.”
A wise person can grasp what is right (a sense of morality) and true (a sense of reality) and then synthesize and optimize that information with good judgment (a sense of practical-ity) and careful action (a sense of causality).
Start living in wisdom and watch your confi dence grow. No longer blame others or concoct excuses for your situation. Put your energy into personal development. Grow from your mistakes and put to work what you’ve learned from others. Let your wisdom grow you out of your past and move you into your future.
One of the wisest men who ever lived said this about wiseacres: “See that man who thinks he’s so smart? You can expect far more from a fool than from him.”*
You don’t want to be a wiseacre – you want to be wise, because wis-dom is both confi dence building and magnetic!

BARBEQUEAND
FIREWORKSHere in Texas, we celebrate two hol-
idays that commemorate freedom. June 19 (also known as Juneteenth)
is the day slaves in Texas received the dec-laration of their emancipation from slavery. July 4 is the celebration of the hard-fought freedom and privileges we enjoy as Ameri-cans.But Independence Day was almost cel-ebrated two days earlier. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later, July 4, the delegates signed the Declaration of Independence. Future presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams fought to have July 2 as Independence Day, but were out-voted by the other delegates. This is why we celebrate on July 4, the date the docu-ment was signed, rather than the date the resolution of independence was approved by Congress.Like many American families, we enjoy celebrating Independence Day by gather-ing together for barbeques and fi reworks. These recipes for Grilled Buttermilk Chicken and Grilled Potato Salad with Buttermilk Dressing are guaranteed to set off an explosion of fl avor in your mouth while providing you the freedom of time to enjoy this wonderful holiday.
GRILLED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN
Marinating chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce is an old Southern recipe for tender-izing and adding fl avor to chicken. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, see the tips below for creating a tasty alternative. When grilling, create two heat zones: start with high, direct heat over the coals, and then move the food away from the coals to cook all the way through without burning.
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, shaken well8 cloves garlic, chopped1 tablespoon paprika2 tablespoons poultry seasoning1 1/2 teaspoons salt1 teaspoon black pepper2 tablespoons hot sauce6 pounds bone-in chicken pieces
1. In a small bowl or measuring cup, com-bine buttermilk, garlic, paprika, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and hot sauce.2. Divide buttermilk mixture and chicken between two large re-sealable plastic bags. Place the bags of chicken in a bowl or on a sheet pan. Marinate chicken in the refriger-ator, turning bags occasionally, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.3. Heat grill to medium-low. Remove chicken from marinade (discard mari-nade); pat chicken dry with food-safe pa-per towels. Grill chicken, covered, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Serves 8.

SAVINGS BONDRATES
If you have part of your retire-ment money in savings bonds, the newly announced interest
rates might have you in a spin. As of May, it was announced that Se-ries I bonds will earn zero percent interest for six months, down from 1.94 percent. The Series EE bonds will see a rate of only 0.30 percent for the next 20 years.
However, those are for new bond purchases only. You can breathe a little easier now.
The interest rate on your existing I or EE bonds is determined by the type of bonds they are, plus the original terms.
If you purchased Series EE bonds after May 2005, you’ll get a fi xed interest rate for 20 years. It’s guar-
anteed that after 20 years, the bonds will have a value of twice the pur-chase price. If you purchased bonds between May 1997 and April 2005, rates are 90 percent of average fi ve-year Treasury securities. Prior to May 1997, the rates vary. You can check www.treasurydirect.gov for current values.
Series I bonds have a fi xed rate plus an infl ation rate, which is reset ev-ery six months, for the 30-year life of the bond.
Series HH bonds have stayed the same, with interest at 1.50 percent.The good news is that you won’t lose money with bonds, although you might not get any interest for a period of time.
Go online to check your actual yield. The online bond-rate calcula-tor and wizard tool are free on the Treasury Direct website. If you need information about cashing in bonds or replacing lost ones, you can also see www.savingsbonds.com.

ATTRACTINGHUMMINGBIRDSHummingbirds are one of the
most exciting visitors we get to see in our garden. Watching
these amazing birds can be truly ad-dicting. It’s hard to get enough of their graceful speed and the gentle hum of their wings so adding a few of their fa-vorite fl owers to your garden is a sure way to attract many more visits from them.
Summer is prime perennial season so it’s no wonder hummingbirds are out in full force. There are so many plants blooming this time of year and it’s a great time to take a look at your garden and note any times during the season that you were without blooms. Having something always blooming through-out the season is not only for our en-joyment, but it’s a great way to keep hummingbirds a frequent visitor. This takes time and patience, but as you add to your garden every year you can create an ever blooming garden and a hummingbird’s paradise.
How you plant your fl owers can make your garden much more tempting than your neighbors to a hummingbird. Planting several of the same plants to-
gether create big blocks of color that will most defi nitely capture plenty of attention. A hummingbird’s beak is shaped perfectly for slender tubular fl owers, but can enjoy nectar from a variety of fl ower shapes. And while there is no doubt that a hummingbird’s favorite color is red there are plenty of blues, purples, yellows and pink that they will fl ock towards. Any of the red Penstemon seem like they were actu-ally grown just to feed hummingbirds so they are a great choice for a hum-mingbird garden.
Another popular plant among hum-mingbirds blooming right now is called Red Birds in a Tree. This unique plant’s fl owers actually look like red birds sit-ting in a tree! Others like Hyssup, Sal-via, Daylily, Russian Sage, Red Feath-ers, Honeysuckle, Columbine, Holly-hocks and Bee Balm are just a handful of additions that hummingbirds fi nd irresistible.
In addition to using fl owers to attract hummingbirds, hanging hummingbird feeders is also a great way to get them to stick around a little longer. It is im-portant however, to commit to cleaning and refi lling your feeder every three to four days. Use white sugar and water at a ratio of 1 to 4 in your feeder and never use artifi cial sweetener or red coloring as they have found these to be harmful to hummingbirds.
So if you’re looking to fi ll in a few spots with color that will attract more hum-mingbirds, the hardest part might just be picking from the many choices!

SUICIDE STUDYIS EYE-OPENERA 10-year study of suicide sta-
tistics for veterans has an eye-opening conclusion: Using the
Department of Veterans Affairs health services lowers the risk of suicide. The study, appearing in Psychiatric Ser-vices Journal, looked at data from over 173,000 suicides in 23 states over the years 2000-2010.
Here are some stats:
• Veteran suicide rates went up 25 per-cent, while civilian rates increased 12 percent.
• Suicide rates were 20 percent higher than expected in 2000. By 2010, that number was up to 60 percent higher.
• Suicide risk for female veterans was higher than that for males.
• Female veterans were six times more likely to commit suicide than non-vet-
eran women. Suicides among female veterans increased 40 percent.
• Veterans over age 50 account for 69 percent of veteran suicides.
While there have been annual reports about the suicide rates, this one con-cludes with that crucial fact: Veterans who use VA health services have lower rates of suicide. Researchers admit they weren’t expecting that result.
The study didn’t attempt to determine why some veterans don’t seek help at the VA. Maybe one of these annual sui-cide rate studies will take on that chal-lenge.
Sources of help if you’ve had thoughts of suicide:
Call the hotline at 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1. Or send a text message to 38255.
Go online to go to www.veteranscrisis-line.net and chat with a counselor.
Every VA medical center has a Women Veteran Program Manager who serves as advocate for female veterans. For re-ferral, women veterans can also call the Women Veterans Call Center, 1-855-VA-WOMEN (1-855-829-6636).
If you know you’re in trouble, get help ... now.

MAKINGVITAMIN DWITHOUTSUNLIGHT
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a ques-tion about vitamin D-3 pills. How does 400 mg fi t into such a tiny pill? I also thought you needed sunlight to make vitamin D. -- A.S.
ANSWER: Four hundred mg is very small. Most of the tablet isn’t even vitamin D -- it’s starch and other materials to hold the tablet to-gether.
The skin does make vitamin D-3 from precursors in the presence of sunlight. However, there are several factors that affect this process. Dur-ing winter months at moderately high latitudes (above the line from Los Angeles to Atlanta), the sun-light might not be strong enough to effi ciently convert enough vitamin D, so many are vitamin-D-defi cient during winter.
People who don’t go outside, who usually wear clothing and hats to cover their skin or who have darker skin are less able to create vitamin D. People over 70 also are less able to make their own vitamin D. This is why many foods are supplemented with vitamin D. Even so, a sizable proportion of the population has low levels of vitamin D.
There remains great controversy about whether supplementation will improve overall health. Studies are ongoing to test the effect of vitamin D supplementation to reduce frac-ture risk, improve muscle function or reduce cancer risk.
DEAR DR. ROACH: You men-tioned lupus in a recent column. Is there a connection between lupus and arthritis? -- D.J.T.
ANSWER: Systemic lupus ery-thematosis (SLE) is a disease that can affect virtually any organ in the body, and usually affects several -- often at the same time. The most common symptoms are fatigue, fe-ver and weight loss. Skin signs can be very specifi c, such as the classic “butterfl y rash,” a red, butterfl y-shaped rash across the nose and cheeks. Arthritis (joint infl amma-tion) or arthralgia (joint pain) is present in 90 percent of people with lupus at some point in the illness.
The arthritis booklet discusses joint pain found in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and lupus. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 301W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and ad-dress. Please allow four weeks for delivery.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: If you walk briskly for a certain time and dis-tance, is that not just as good for you as jogging, if you are going for the same time? -- A.
ANSWER: It depends on what you mean by “good.” If you mean what I think you do, in terms of overall health and maybe living longer and feeling better, then yes, a brisk walk is nearly as good for you as jog-ging.
Jogging probably is better for pre-venting osteoporosis, since it gives more impact to the bones, but on the other hand it is harder on the joints. If your goal is to get faster and win races, then you need to practice go-ing faster. But walking is nearly as good for most aspects and is easier on the body than jogging for most people.
***
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to an-swer individual letters, but he will incorpo-rate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

MOMENTS IN TIMETHE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On July 10, 1887, an 80-foot-high concrete dam breaks in Zug, Switzer-land, releasing a wall of water that kills 70 people. Rescue boats were ineffec-tive, as they capsized in the roiling wa-ters.
• On July 7, 1930, construction of the Hoover Dam begins. Over the next fi ve years, 21,000 men would work to pro-duce what would be the largest dam of its time, as well as one of the world’s largest manmade structures.
• On July 6, 1946, FBI agents arrest George “Bugs” Moran in Kentucky. Once one of the top organized crime fi gures in America, Moran had been reduced to small bank robberies. His criminal career took an abrupt down-turn after the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929.
• On July 8, 1951, Paris celebrates its 2,000th birthday. The history of Paris can be traced back to a Gallic tribe known as the Parisii, who settled an island (known today as Ile de la Cite) in the Seine River, which runs through present-day Paris.
• On July 9, 1960, President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev trade verbal threats over the future of Cuba. Khrushchev fi red the fi rst shot when he warned that the Soviet Union was prepared to use its missiles to protect Cuba from U.S. in-tervention.
• On July 11, 1978, a truck carrying 1,500 cubic feet of pressurized liquid gas crashes into a campsite crowded with vacationers in Spain. The result-ing explosion killed more than 200 people.
• On July 12, 1995, a heat advisory is issued in Chicago warning of a re-cord-breaking heat wave. When the heat breaks a week later, nearly 1,000 people are dead in Illinois and Wiscon-sin. The temperature in the city hit 106 degrees F.

• It was Nora Joyce, wife to the Irish novel-ist James Joyce, who wrote the notoriously diffi cult -- and infl uential -- stream-of-consciousness novel “Ulysses,” who asked her husband, “Why don’t you write books people can read?”
• You might be surprised to learn that contemporary model and actress Brooke Shields is descended from that notorious fi gure of the Italian Renaissance, Lucretia Borgia, who was suspected of such crimes as adultery, incest and murder.
• In this era of helicopter parenting, some are shocked to learn that in the 1960s, near-ly half of all children in America walked to and from school by themselves.
• What do “Where’s Waldo,” “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” “My Friend Flicka,” “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” and “Harriet the Spy” have in com-mon? Aside from being books meant for
a young audience, all of these titles have been banned at one time or another.
• There are about the same number of chick-ens as there are humans on the planet.
• If you’re like 83 percent of pet owners who responded to a recent survey, you feel that you receive more unconditional love from your pet than from your kids, your best friend or even your romantic partner.
• I’m sure you’ve heard the term “Podunk” used to describe a small, unimportant town, but you might not know where the word came from. It seems that a Native Ameri-can tribe in Connecticut was known as the Podunk, and a nearby river was called by the same name. Local small towns on the river were referred to as “Podunk,” too, and so the word entered the lexicon.

FOURTH OF JULYSIDEWALK PARADE
It’s time for a sidewalk parade! Whether it’s on the Fourth of July, or anytime all summer
long, decorate bikes, trikes, scoot-ers, skates and wagons, wear a funny hat and strike up the band. A couple of families with a few mo-tivated kids is really all it takes to make it happen. Gather kids of all ages in your neighborhood, and get marching to the beat of family fun and memory-making.
Here are some ideas to stage the informal, high-spirited event:
• Make and deliver fl iers or send
emails to announce the sidewalk pa-rade. Designate a place where kids can gather for a pre-parade deco-rating party. Your deck, driveway, backyard or a local park can be the gathering spot.
Tie ribbons, streamers and fl ags to bikes and wagons. Make signs and banners.
• Put your child’s teddy bear or oth-er stuffed animals on parade, too. Decorate the long sides of a wagon to make it look like a circus wagon. Fill it with their favorite animals. Some kids might like to dress like a clown, while others can be a circus ringmaster or tightrope walker.
• Teens may enjoy participating, too. They can hand out brochures along the mini parade route or wear a sandwich board advertising their services for mowing lawns, babysit-ting or watering plants for vacation-ers.
• For post-parade fun, make the day a real picnic and top off the event
with snacks, appetizers, a potluck meal or a barbecue. For dessert, set out tubs of ice cream on a picnic table. Ask families to bring their fa-vorite toppings.
• Enjoy a memorable fi nale with a few games that everyone will enjoy, such as an egg toss, water-balloon volleyball and relay races. Some kids may want to perform impromp-tu juggling acts, magic shows and songs. Encourage participants to
match up with new families on the block or in the building so everyone gets acquainted.

TRI LAKES CENTER FOR THE ARTS
SUMMER ART CLASS IN OIL PAINTING
TECHNIQUE
The course, Painting on Paper, will begin at the Tri lakes Art Center July 8th, at 7:00
pm in the centers new and spacious classroom. The cost is $340.00 for the six week sessions. the class sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00.
I was fortunate enough to take this course at the University I was attending in the grad program.
The course was designed to free the professional artist from anxiety associated with artist’s block, but benefi ted artist who had not painted before.
The philosophy of the course focuses on the process rather than the production of a piece of art.
the idea is to experience the process without judging the outcome. Without judgement of a preconceived outcome, the artist is free to explore the nature of the medium in and of itself.
It is in our nature to judge what is good and what is bad; what is superior and what is inferior. And this I believe is why we become mentally blocked and fearful of our creative power.
Each class session last two hours, with the student completing the assignment in that time frame. The
student will paint on primed (Gesso) Bristol paper and illustration boards for economy. these exercises in painting will include experimenting with oil mediums for Texture, Transparency, fast drying, slow drying, gloss and matt fi nishes and painting with just mineral spirits (odorless mineral spirits). The idea is the more the artist paints and explores, the more comfortable they become with the painting process.
In this course, the student will also learn the value of quality materials such as the types of brushes that work best with oils, brands of paints including student grade, palettes and mediums. It is my intention as Instructor to teach the student to value the painting process as much as he/she values the fi nished product.
We cannot avoid our judgements or our prejudices, it is what humanizes us; but we can learn to soften the borders between what we determine to be good or bad, superior or inferior, and give ourselves the freedom to be creative in our endeavors.
